Opera rehearsal in outdoor tent
March 12, 2021

Opera students spent a sunny but chilly March afternoon rehearsing under a tent in Red Square for an upcoming production of Die Fledermaus on May 21-22. Because of the ever-changing nature of the global pandemic, we won’t know for several weeks if it will be safe to have any kind of live performance with an audience or if the production will need to be streamed to a virtual audience for safety reasons. Nevertheless, our dedicated students and faculty have begun rehearsing together as they collectively work towards the goal of sharing art with the community.
